3 years ago I have a similar problem. When I press run I receive the error message "Override hosts failed". This is what I have in the CMD window.

I have turned off the firewall and antivirus, made the hosts file writable and nothing helps. The hosts file itself is in original condition without any other entries (you can check). hosts.txt I cannot even delete it as the system says that the file is being used by other process (System). The simulator itself is running ok. Do you have any ideas what to do?

3 years ago Yes, if you can’t even delete the file which means the hosts file are “protected” by something. If you can’t delete or change it, then the mod can do nothing. So please find out if something locked your hosts file. Some antivirus has settings that set the “hosts” file protected.

3 years ago I have solved my hosts problem successfully. I am using ZoneAlarm antivirus + firewall and if you are having the same problem you have to untick the line "lock hosts files" in firewall advanced settings . My problem was that if I shut down ZoneAlarm completely, this function remained active. I hope this helps someone in the future. After that, the utility worked fine.

2 years ago I have no trouble changing or deleting the hosts file. I can edit and do everything with it..
When I press run, in the last version of the app, that is what appears, It never worked for me, but now appears that:
File "G:\Flight Simulator 2020\Google no Bing\Python39\lib\site-packages\python_hosts\hosts.py", line 193, in write with open(output_file_path, mode) as hosts_file: PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts'
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "G:\Flight Simulator 2020\Google no Bing\Python39\lib\tkinter__init.py", line 1892, in call__ return self.func(*args) File "G:\Flight Simulator 2020\Google no Bing\src\app.py", line 237, in run self.stop() File "G:\Flight Simulator 2020\Google no Bing\src\app.py", line 317, in stop restore_hosts() File "G:\Flight Simulator 2020\Google no Bing\src\runner.py", line 42, in restore_hosts hosts.write() File "G:\Flight Simulator 2020\Google no Bing\Python39\lib\site-packages\python_hosts\hosts.py", line 216, in write raise UnableToWriteHosts() python_hosts.exception.UnableToWriteHosts
HELP! I don't know what to do. My firewall is on, game is not running: in other versions I tried with and without firewall and the result is the same. Maybe hosts archive is protected?
Thanks.
